First night at the track
First night at the track
First off I really hate street leagal drags at Indianapolis Raceway Park because they don't prep the track and its a skating rink.
Best 60 I saw was a 1.8 Most were from a 2.0-2.5
14.1@100 with a 2.3 60... was my best. Could not hook on any run till past the 60
Last run I knew I was done went all out, nice smokey burn out and launched as hard as I could with out just smoking them when I hooked I waited till it shifted into second and nailed it and the car spun again hard and got pretty crooked and then fixed itself.
First run was a 14.3@ 100 2.53 60
Second was 14.2@100 2.46 60
Then third above
Crummy P235 street tires....
If the track would have hooked I know I would have ran at least a 13.9

Re: First night at the track
I understand about the street legal nights. They do the same thing here at Heartland Park. No prep at all. I was pulling anywhere between 2.3 and 2.5 60' times before I bought my ET Streets. The best I've pulled with them is a 2.0. I'm hoping I can pull maybe a little faster 60' times this year after install my new 3000 stall but I'll find out in a week when the track opens for the first time this year.
Re: First night at the track
Do you guys think with radials it will run at least a 13.9 with a preped track?
I know 100mph trap speed is good for a 13.9
Nobody ran good, the 10 sec cars that were there refused to race. There were cars running a 12.4 at 124mph..... I think a 124 is like high 11 second range.

Re: First night at the track
Well I feel better kowing its got 13's in it. It says something when your best run is AFTER the rear end kicks out and spinning pretty hard!
Sould be interesting when I get the sticky tires and go on a prep night. Even more interesting when I get the 150 shot hooked up.
Goal for this season is 12.9's on N20.
Ran into a few guys that ran a 13.8 at 98-99 with a great track (same track just prep work and sticky tires) and I know I would take them from a roll. We will have to wait and see!

Re: First night at the track
don't worry, i trapped 103 and my best time was something rediculous like a 14.5
i got new street tires that are not terrible, so i might go next friday and give them a shot.

Re: First night at the track
I wish I could get my trap into the 3 digits, im still stuck at a consistant 14.2@97 w/2.1 60', went again today, I didnt get any faster with the long tubes...just doesnt make sense, oh, and my last run I ran an oddball 14.5@94 for reason on the same 60'
Re: First night at the track
Well I played with a buddy in his 99 T/A auto, stall, 4.10's, radials, and exhaust and he took me by a car and held. Suprised him pretty good LOL.
Whats funny is that last year everyone and there brother wanted to race me, now nobody does when they see a near stock LT1 running with moded LS1 cars...
Krispy, get a PCM tune, it helped me out a bunch.
I am still on the stock y-pipe and manifolds also
